A fantastic project, worthy of support.

When women don't get equal access to life saving health care we have a medical form of #GenderApartheid

Kenyan single mothers ‘trapped’ in Saudi Arabia as exit visas denied to children born outside marriage Domestic workers who fled abusive employers say their children are not eligible for birth certificates, medical care or education – yet cannot leave

Laws that prevent women, including abuse survivors, from leaving the country with their children are a stark example of institutionalised discrimination—one of the many forms perpetuating #GenderApartheid.

Taliban move to ban women training as nurses and midwives ‘an outrageous act of ignorance’ Afghan students and activists condemn halt to medical courses amid warnings of women dying from lack of healthcare

It seems these fundamentalist theocrats heard us say “How stupid can they get?” and took it as a challenge.

Restricting access to education is one of the tools for enforcing #GenderApartheid.

Det føltes meningsfullt å holde foredrag på Nansenskolen på Lillehammer i går. Noen vil kanskje tro jeg bare lirer av meg en klisjé, men ærlig talt: Spørsmålene jeg fikk i etterkant tyder på særdeles våkne og oppegående elever - slikt gir meg tro på fremtiden.

Brave women joined by brave allies.

Women arrested by Taliban for begging report rape and killings in Afghan jails Draconian new laws allow mass incarceration of women and children forced to beg because of work ban

Unequal access to #justice is one form of #genderapartheid.

Slowly and piece by piece, I strip away
Everything I am wearing.
Beneath my shirt lies a battlefield,
A storehouse of weapons and gunpowder.

Naked as a beginning,
Naked as a bloody knife,
Naked as a forbidden poem—
Like the poem you are reading now.

Fatemeh Ekhtesari
From "She Is Not a Woman"

Langsomt og stykkevis plukker jeg
Av meg alt jeg har på meg
Under skjorta mi er det en slagmark
Lager av våpen og krutt

Naken som en begynnelse
Naken som en blodig kniv
Naken som et forbudt dikt
Som diktet du leser nå

Fatemeh Ekhtesari
Av "hun er ikke kvinne"
